N2 - sponsored research and development (R&D) on the advanced, closed nuclear fuel cycle, including post-irradiation processing of used fuels, recovery of separated components, and preparation of recycle nuclear fuels. During the period 2007–2010, kilogram-scale demonstrations of the integrated processing steps were performed for actual light water reactor (LWR) used nuclear fuels (UNF). These integrated processing demonstrations were called “the Coupled-End-to-End” (CETE) campaigns and were associated with the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership program, which ran concurrently. The demonstrations were carried out in the shielded hot cells and associated gloveboxes located in the Irradiated Fuels Examination Laboratory (IFEL) and the Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Limited circulation program reports and a few technical papers were issued. The subject document provides a comprehensive summary of results, technical comparisons, and conclusions obtained from the demonstration campaigns and subsequent associated R&D.
